By Jarad Jarmon Associate News Editor | @JJarmonReporter
Jesse White, Secretary of State as well as the State Librarian, provides Back2Books grants to libraries that apply. After applying this year, Booth Library has received $5,000 to use on books and supplies for the library. The grant, “which pairs collection de- velopment with programming or an activ- ity to engage the target audience in read- ing, learning or using the new materials,” according to the grant website. Booth is one of 159 state libraries to be awarded the one of the grants ranging from $1,000 to $5,000. A total of $670,000 worth of grants had been given out. “It is important that our libraries have access to a diverse collection of books for patrons to read for knowledge or enjoy- ment,” White said in a press release. “These grants are a great way for libraries to en- courage reading and get more people to use KATIE SMITH | THE DAILY EASTERN NEWS their local library.” AJ Walsh, a communication studies professor, spent earlier years of her life participating in Live Action Role Play (LARP).

We are very puzzled by your decision to publish Brian Weav- er’s opinion piece (“No bunny loves you more than God”, April 13, 2014) when it is clearly a sermon. We understand that the opinions as well as the free speech of your readers must be re- spected, but there is a di erence between sharing opinions and printing religious condemnation. Mr. Weaver states that when we leave this world we will have “eternal consequences” which we see Russia cuts it close before the Olympics as the veiled threat of hell and damnation. Mr. Weaver does not speak for us or “every human being on the planet” or, we venture to say, many observant Christians. We happen to love bunnies, brightly colored eggs, and spending time with our families. ere is no one true way to celebrate the holiday, no matter what pagan practices early Christians “accommodated.” We would respectful- ly suggest the DEN to consider not using its editorial page to promote religious proselytization in the future.
